Neoclassical Decorative Facade Capital with Rich Stucco Work

#1274. Neoclassical Decorative Facade Capital with Rich Stucco Work

The image shows an exquisite architectural element – a decorative capital with rich stucco work in a neoclassical style. This element is part of the facade decoration, likely of a historical building from the eclectic or Art Nouveau period.

The capital is made of white material (presumably plaster or artificial stone) and demonstrates an impressive wealth of ornamental motifs. The central part is adorned with a vertical row of stylized acanthus leaves and volute-shaped scrolls. Particularly noteworthy are the side decorative elements with lush plant forms, creating a sense of plasticity and volume.

In the lower part of the capital, there are elements characteristic of the Corinthian order with acanthus leaves, but interpreted in a more free decorative manner. The upper part is decorated with a geometric cornice with protruding elements. The entire composition represents a beautiful example of decorative art in architecture, where classical motifs are reinterpreted in the spirit of the architectural tradition of the late 19th – early 20th century.
